Curmudgeon Mr. Sherman awakens under a cloud--literally: it's raining in his bedroom. The cloud follows him as he goes about his day, during which he notices that when it visits cheerful folk, it offers "just a brief bit of shade" before it vanishes. The vapidly cartoonish art undercuts the book's cleverly crafted insight that we make our own sunshine.
